No, its not dangerous at all. The "reserved" space is, as you say, only
available to the "root" user. No other user on the system can exceed the
"disk - reserved space" capacity. If you want to use the space yourself,
then fine, change it. It doesn't really matter.
Which makes sense. So leaving some is a good idea, but presumably 5GB is
still loads (the main drive im using currently is 4GB!), so could i reduce
this down further happily
Yes. Generally I think the default is to leave around 5% "reserved".
Feel free to drop that if you want the space for "non-root" users on
your device.
